:Author: Bruce Mitchener, Jr. :Date: 2013-07-11 00:00:00 Open Dylan 2013.1 released ========================== Dear Dylan Hacker, It is a pleasure for us to announce a new release of Open Dylan. We have extensive `release notes `_, but this release has been about iterative improvement rather than major changes. * A deadlock when using threads on x86-linux has been addressed. * A crash when using threads on x86-linux has also been addressed. * A crash from memory corruption on Mac OS X has been fixed. * Some errors in how the Windows Registry was used have been corrected. * There have been significant improvements to the documentation. * A licensing issue with an unacknowledged copyright has been corrected. Please report problems that you have in our `issue tracker `_. You can get it from our website, `https://opendylan.org/download/ `_. On Windows there is an installer, on UNIX systems unpack into ``/opt``. On 64 bit Linux, you will need to have the Boehm GC installed for our executables to run. (Ubuntu: ``apt-get install libgc``) Also, remember that this weekend, July 13-14 is our `hack-a-thon`_ and we hope that you'll consider participating. You may also sign up for the hack-a-thon at our `Google Plus event page`_. Good luck and happy Dylan hacking! .. _hack-a-thon: https://opendylan.org/news/2013/06/30/dylan-hack-a-thon.html .. _Google Plus event page: https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?passive=1209600&osid=1&continue=https://plus.google.com/&followup=https://plus.google.com/
